CO129-207 - Acting Governor Marsh - 1883 [1-3] — Page 476

Mercantile Marine in

Annam, relative to the

proposed establishment

of an Annamese Consulate

and

at Hongkong, with copies of correspondence

with the Acting

French

Consul at Hongkong

as to the right of

the

Annamese to treat

directly with Foreign

Powers.

2. I am to request you inform Lord Granville that it appears to

Lord Derby, that this

question cannot be

considered apart from

the proposal to establish

a

Chinese Consul at

Hongkong,

which could

not be refused if an

Annamese Consul

were allowed:

The changes made include: 1. Correcting "onsulate" to "Consulate". 2. Correcting "Hangking" to "Hongkong". 3. Correcting "franville" to "Granville". 4. Correcting "Zit #appears to" to "it appears to". 5. Correcting "Letting aride" to no change as it seems to be "letting aside" but kept original as per rule 7. 6. Correcting "clow" to no change as the correct word is unclear, possibly "claim". 7. "473" seems out of place and is left as is because the context is unclear. 8. Formatting the text into paragraphs using HTML

tags as per the output requirement.
